River disappears overnight after loud detonation noise is heard

On the night of Tuesday, the river Iška between village and village research Strahomer disappeared. On Arsu explaining that the water retreats into well permeable gravel-sand bed under the floor Zasip, therefore disappears and reappears. This time, the phenomenon more pronounced due to injuries in the channel

I agree it doesn't explain why the river was so dry the next day, not even showing any damp patches. I've noticed that people are often quick to find an explanation, as if finding any explanation is more important than accounting for all the facts.

this could be very easily explained

Eastern Europe is speckled with old closed coal mines, that people living in the area do not know about or the generations that knew died off

due to the flooding there could have been some dirt shift opening an unfilled (old coal mines should be filled with sand) coal mine ultimately causing the river water to drain into the mine

ok for old mines in the area you may find this river

This doesn't explain why all the river bed is dry, as the OP observed up the page a bit. I am really puzzled by that. It seems impossible that it could have become bone dry that quickly, plus hardly any small pools in low areas. I think there are still some aspects of this that are a mystery.

This is a perfectly natural occurrence, not one usually noticed by man though.The river has gone underground, most likely caused by the recent flooding there. Huge amounts of water going down the river during the flooding eroded the underlying soil strata and opened up a tunnel under the river, the above soil became so thin that eventually it just gave way and all the water just started pouring beneath the old layer of strata.

So 2km of a river disappears overnight, and the offical story is that it drained away through that small crack?! (See pictures in link in above post).

Bearing in mind that witnesses heard a huge bang, which one said sounded like a huge detonation.

Is it that this phenomena was caused by some new technology to control flooding? Or perhaps it was an earthquake without the tremor? What is particularly concerning is that this sort of event can be common before big earthquakes. In china a whole lake disappeared before a devastating earthquake.

In one of the latest Bond movies, I'm pretty sure they hijack a river to gain control of a region by controlling the water

It turns out that when the news story refers to tuesday night (21/9/10) they actually were refering to the early hours of wednesday morning (22/9/10). The time when the loud bang noises were heard (around 3am UT)strangely correspond with two events mentioned on spaceweather on 22/09/10 (see link below). These being the fire ball seen over New Mexico and west Texas and the eruptions on the sun, they all occurred around the same time. Just a coincidence? A witness comments (about the fireball) "The fireball made a sonic boom loud enough to be heard inside above fan noise and household din." - Strange that a similarly loud noise was being heard at around the same time in Slovenia. Not sure if there is a connection, but still a strange coincidence.

How is this possible when the event only happened just over 2 days ago? And the photos were taken the following day.All the points you make below only increase the mystery of it all - probably not an event of great magnitude? Don't forget this river was flooded! So if the river bed does not show usual signs of being a river, this should be making you question this even more! Don't just look at a picture, read the information provided in this thread as well. You think the national news got it wrong and it wasn't really a river? "Oh dear yes, we didn't realise it was just a tiny stream! How silly we've been calling it a river all this time throughout Slovene history! And oh yeah, didn't this happen over a week ago? Damn, forgot to send the film crew out!"

The facts: the event happened just over two days ago, film crew and photographers went out there soon after this. Was not too much of a trek as Slovenia is not much larger than greater London. And the river has always been a river...the river Iška

looks like a wash, not a river...

If there was a river there then they were over a week late getting pictures of the remains....

I think you may be right. It could have had a lot of water from the floods and has since disappeared.

No one has ever seen a perfect circle, nor a perfectly straight line, yet everyone knows what a circle and a straight line are.Perceived circles or lines are not exactly circular or straight, and true circles and lines could never be detected since by definition they are sets of infinitely small points.

No mystery.Sink hole.Ceiling of underground cavern collapsed making loud noise.

But there's no sinkhole...just a dry riverbed. We all have seen many photos and videos of sinkholes so, if it were a sinkhole, there should be a big gaping hole where the river used to be, but there isn't.

how much more proof do people need that something is on its way ????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An earthquake opening up a fissure sounds plausible. But the crack they showed in the pictures seemed far too small to drain a river so quickly.

Right. Besides, a hole that small would have become plugged up with river sediment and other debris that would have been pulled into it along with the strong water flow. This happens often to drains on city streets which become plugged with leaves and rocks and twigs that are carried along with rainwater.

Also doesn't explain the loud boom that people heard. And an earthquake would be recorded...

The crack maybe small near the surface, but it might be HUGE below the surface. What ever it is, these are all bad signs. And people need to start opening there eyes. Shits-a-comin.

Flow rate would be limited to the biggest bottleneck so it matters not how big it is underneath.

I could care less about the theory. All I know is that this is not good.
